Ingredients

• 2 heads Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shaved or grated)
• 2 cups Crusty bread (e.g. sourdough or baguette)
• 5 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 Anchovy fillets (optional)
• 2 Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the crusty bread into 1-inch cubes to make croutons.

Step 2

Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool.

Step 3

Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Step 4

In a small skillet on medium heat, sautée the minced garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 1–2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, mash the anchovy fillets (if using) into a paste with a fork. Add the sautéd garlic, egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.

Step 6

Slowly drizzle in the remaining olive oil (about 2 tablespoons), whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing. Continue whisking until the dressing has a smooth and creamy consistency.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the romaine lettuce and gently toss to coat. Add the cooled croutons and half the Parmesan cheese, tossing again lightly.

Step 8

Transfer the salad to serving plates and garnish with the remaining Parmesan cheese and additional freshly ground black pepper, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Caesar Salad a La York!
